"Oh, she's a bit of a coquette, then?" "You must discover for yourself what she is," said the young man, buckling on his sword. "She has my entire respect." "You quite pique my curiosity. I'll drive in for you this evening." At the hour appointed, Strahan, in civilian's dress, stepped into Merwyn's carriage and was driven rapidly to the cottage.
The police now supposed that they recognized one of a band of detectives, everywhere busy about the city in all kinds of disguises, men of wonderful nerve, who rendered the authorities very important services, and often captured the most dangerous of the ruffianly leaders. The fellow in question was hustled to his feet, having discovered Merwyn's gang sooner than he desired.
A shade of annoyance passed over Merwyn's face, but as Strahan ceased he came forward and held out his hand, saying: "I like you all the better for speaking your thoughts, for doing just as you please. You must be equally fair and yield to me the privilege of keeping my thoughts, and doing as I please."
Fortunately they met but few people, and no crowds whatever. As they approached Merwyn's home his steps began to grow unsteady. "Papa," said Marian, in agitated tones, "Mr. Merwyn is wounded; he wants your support." "Merciful Heaven, Merwyn! are you wounded?" "Yes, hasten. I must reach home before giving out."

On his return to Merwyn's home, the first one to greet him was Strahan, his face full of the deepest solicitude. "I have just arrived," he said.
The New York Times took matters into its own hands. A glare of light from the windows of its building was shed after night-fall over Printing-House Square, and editors and reporters had their rifles as readily within reach as their pens. We shall not follow Merwyn's adventures, for that would involve something like a repetition of scenes already described.
I should be glad to have him give thousands and increase the volume of business by millions; but if he gave all he has, he could not stand in my estimation with men who offer their lives and risk mutilation and untold suffering from wounds. I know nothing of Mr. Merwyn's present motives, and they may be anything but patriotic.
Merwyn's request was granted at once, Acton adding, "There will be a general call in the morning papers for the enrolment of citizens as policemen." The moments were crowded with preparations, counsels, and decisions.
Merwyn's self-interest and natural affection led her to yield to necessity with fairly good grace. The course resolved upon by Willard preserved her son and the property.
